Too often you mistake attachment for love, or appreciation.
You attach to a person, a job, a situation or even a worn article of clothing.
If your life is perfect as it is and cannot possibly get any better, then, by all means, hold on to everything.
Of course, life on Earth is not designed that way. You are here to learn, grow and play.
All three of these things involve change and release.
To learn, is to add new information and leave behind old, outdated ideas.
To grow is to stretch yourself, physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. The change here is obvious and again, may mean leaving old thought patterns and behaviors behind.
To play is to explore, to delight in the world around you. To squeal at surprises and dance to the music of life. To play is to celebrate and enjoy the changes around you, and if you do it often enough, it inevitably leads to learning and growth.
Change is not the enemy. Change is the Angel, who holds a miracle in her hands. Her gift to you, if you choose to accept it.
Do you? ~Silas
Your Hollywood movies have sold you on the idea of "Happily Ever After."
When the movie is over, the problem is resolved, the happy couple ride off into the sunset, the underdog celebrates her success or the world is saved and eternal happiness is the result.
Your job on Earth is to be happy and to learn. Your goals are simply scenarios that provide the backdrop for this happiness.
It would seem easy to be happy living in prosperity in a mansion, with the love of your life, located on a beautiful tropical island, but if stress, depression and fear are your habits, you can be miserable anywhere.
You can be happy or distraught in any situation, but this does not mean that the Universe wants you to be destitute and homeless.
Cultivate a habit of happiness. Even if you are not where you want to be. Don't blame yourself if you still get stressed, but shake it off quickly, leaving only the lesson behind.
If you desire to be someplace else, then feel the joy in that place. Walk as you would if you had the great job. Get dressed in the morning as though you are the successful actress or published author you aspire to be.
You may find yourself exactly where you want to be, someplace better or simply in a more favorable situation than you are currently in.
Congratulate yourself on the improvement, and enjoy your Happily Ever Now! ~Silas
